6-0, 6-3
An interview with:
RAFAEL NADAL
THE MODERATOR: Questions, please.
Q. Were you a little surprised how well you started, how brilliantly you
started?
RAFAEL NADAL: No, I play very well the first set. I am happy for that.
I play little bit more aggressive. I know that, no, the last match I play
little bit defensive. This match I begin the match with the (intention of
going forward.)
I say I will try, and I play good.
Q. Your English is improving very much. (XD)
RAFAEL NADAL: Is improving a lot, huh (smiling)?
Q. Do you spend a lot of time studying, or is it just you pick it up?
RAFAEL NADAL: I don't study,(果然是神童XD) and every day I have a press
conference.Is okay. After five years, I think I can speak (smiling).
Q. When you see an opponent who is -- in the first set, his body language
was bad, he was getting down with himself. Does that make you feel pretty
good about what you're doing?
RAFAEL NADAL: No. The first game he play good, the first two games. He
have chance. He have breakpoint in the first games, in the second game
30-All. He playing good.
But when I put 2-0, he's little bit relax. I think he sees a difficult
match and he knows it's tough for him, no?
Q. What aspect of your game are you most pleased with at the moment?
What do you think you need to improve on, if anything in particular?
RAFAEL NADAL: Yeah, I think now my best thing is I have a lot of
concentration when I play. I never - well, never - sometimes, I miss a
little bit. Unforced errors, only a little bit. I need to improve a lot
my serve. I need to improve a little bit my winner, forehand.
I am improving. I think the last year, this year, I improve a lot some
things.
Q. Do you have very good memories of this court? Do you think it brings
out the best in you, playing here?
RAFAEL NADAL: I have very good memories here. Is my first tournament,
my first important tournament. I was play very well. I won the qualify
and I won two matches against Kucera and Costa . I never forget that,
this tournament.
I hope now I improve. My best round is third round (inaudible).
And nothing more (smiling).
Q. Two years ago, if you look back at that win over Costa , you were
very young. How significant was that for your development?
RAFAEL NADAL: Yeah, I remember, but this is very important moment for
me because I was playing good. I won two challengers before and I played
the final in Cagliari , I won Barletta . I am improving my tennis on clay.
When I was arrive here two years before, I have lot of confidence because
I won a lot of matches consecutive, no? And I arrive here and won two
matches. For me is very important because I can see I can play with the
professionals players, no, with the best players.
Q. With the serve, improving your serve, is it a matter of technique
or just getting more power or just more practice?
RAFAEL NADAL: No, I need a lot. I need practice a lot and I need get
little bit confidence, no? I can serve (powerfully and high speed), but
I need confidence for improve the shot, no? I need improve in the practice
for when I play, I have a good serve, no? And I need get the confidence
in the practice for after I have good serve in the match, no?
But I am happy with the improve this year, no?
Q. And with being a left-hander, a left-hander with a very good serve
has got a tremendous advantage probably.
RAFAEL NADAL: Yeah, I know, because I have the slice. If I will be serve
well, is very important for the secure in the match, no, because I return
well. Is important for me improve that.
Q. Have you thought about your chances at the French Open , because you
couldn't play the last two years?
RAFAEL NADAL: I don't know. I will, I will try play. I will play tournament
in Monte-Carlo , in Barcelona , in Roma , in Hamburg . When I know what
is my results in this tournaments, I know what is my chance for the French
Open , no, because I don't know now what is my level.
Q. Aren't you worried of overplaying because you've played Miami , you're
playing here, you played Valencia last week, Hamburg , Rome . Don't you
think you might have a bit too many matches before going to the French Open ?
RAFAEL NADAL: The tennis is, I don't know, no? Because I can lose in first
round, I can lose in quarterfinal, in second round, in semifinal. So if I
play too many matches, I will see. I will see.
But I don't know now. I only hope play good this tournaments. After, I
have one week off. I play in three tournaments - Valencia , Monte-Carlo ,
Barcelona - week off, Rome , Hamburg , week off, and Paris . I think is
good, a good schedule.
